Take a shower.
Return to the bedroom
Meanwhile, the wife left the bed early, so go into the kitchen after dressing.
Feed the cat.
Make a cup of coffee.
The wife is asleep on the couch.
Signs of strain in what is otherwise an imperfect relationship.
Short sentences, clipped answers.
Difficult silence.
no harmony.
Drink the coffee at the little secretarial cupboard
Read about Bercow and Johnson.
The cat jumps up onto the knees
Purrs. She wants her head scratched.
It is nice.
The sons alarm
awful, a honking noise like a submarine's klaxon,
It stops.
Go to the loo
return
sad
Down the stairs, leave the house
Alleys
Car
And off to work, the last time before another holiday in France
